Har Chale To Manav — Kabir

हर चाले तो मानव , बेहद चले सो साध। हद बेहद दोनों तजे , ताको भता अगाध॥
— Kabir

Meaning

When man walks, he is boundless; when the saint walks, he is profound. Transcending both limits and depths, his greatness is immense.

Explanation

Kabir suggests that the physical gait of a man has its limits, yet the gait of a saint transcends those boundaries. When a being moves beyond the bounds of both man and saint, their greatness becomes profoundly limitless. This is Kabir's profound insight: true spirituality resides not in the extremes of worldly life or in utter detachment, but in the boundless state that transcends them both.
